Someone spent years to train him, yet the elephant can't learn it on it's own, and neither can it train it's off springs to paint. My point remains valid.

No matter how you try to twist it, you can't have it.

Human beings ARE THE ONLY ONES who learned the use of pen.

Well that's disappointing. Very sad in fact.

It's good thing that man was made perfect in the image of God or he might have done insanely cruel things to elephants.

Who cares about the stupid pen? Elephants are being abused, dammit!

It really is sad. It's just as bad as the bears in China being tortured just for their bear bile.

Humans who abuse animals are the most disgusting horrid beasts on this planet.

No god or intelligent design at work on this planet full of evil perpetuated solely by humans.

No worries...all I can really do is help raise awareness.

I am a huge animal fan and am aware of many of the abuses done to the most magnificent of creatures on earth. The human species is so disturbing to the peace on this planet. Of all the horrors that we continuously hear about throughout our lives...it's always the humans that are responsible.

Your point is pointless, and has nothing whatever to do with the topic of this thread....Humans do not learn to use a pen on their own....They have to be taught.

No, your point remains ludicrous and nonsensical. Why are you obsessed with writing implements? Can you please explain exactly when and how the black Parker Classic with gold trim that I carry in my shirt pocket every day became irrefutable evidence that Adam and Eve were created by god?

I feel like this thread has morphed into a Saturday Night Live skit. Your argument could not possibly be more absurd even if you were deliberately trying to make it so. If you truly believe this is a logical point, it's just further evidence that science denial is a diagnostic criteria for cognitive dysfunction.

The only thing that gives me peace is knowing that there are only 2 posters in this thread who have this nonsensical idiotic backwards bronze age mind.

Perhaps their gene for rationale was deleted by Natural Selection as a means to eradicate these types of minds. After all it's not the majority of the population that think this way.

Ummm...maybe not the majority of the U.S. population...but, unfortunately, there are hundreds of millions in this world with a Fundie Religious mindset.
MOF...there are lots of people, right this very minute, that feel people like you and I should be eliminated from the Earth...and they would do that if they could. All based on their Religious views.
